Totally ok, lo gets our antibodies. Wear a mask and feed ideally.

Yes! Mask up (or pump and do bottles ) but it will give baby antibodies

Yep just wear a mask and wash your hands

100% you’ll be passing antibodies to your baby
I actually couldn’t breastfeed my son at all but if I could I def would during illnesses especially (unless you are taking non breastfeeding safe meds) breastfeed the baby as those are great antibodies for your child :) wear a mask as pp suggested if you are scared of it being contagious

Also talk to your pediatrician for any recommendations he/she has!

My baby gave it to me so it didn’t matter! But it randomly increased my supply

Mask

Totally fine and my ped recommended it. I masked when nursing, but my baby ended up getting it too. He was only 2 weeks old but had no symptoms- I think bc of all the antibodies that were being passed to him.

At one of his pediatrician appointments. I let our pediatrician know we had it previously (we were out of our isolation period but still masking). She asked if I wanted to test our baby- we did and it was positive.

N95. Entire family got covid when baby was 2 months old, so I isolated with him in the master bedroom. Baby got the least symptoms of us all (fever twice, some cough), and I got the chills once+cough. My breastmilk definitely passed on the antibodies to him.
If you're not sure, pump and feed him your milk. It is very important for them to receive every single t-cell you can provide.
Hope you feel better soon!

Neither my husband nor I are good with change and when my husband and I went for the ultrasound he nervously asked "she's too sick to eat anything other than her vitamins and water, is it ok for her and the baby to go without?" Our doctor just smiled and replied "don't worry, baby takes" I don't know why but that was so funny to us. It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?

Just got promoted to audit senior, but can’t imagine doing another busy season. I have some forensics internship experience from college and always wanted to pivot to forensics. It sounds like the firm is working mostly on COVID stuff these days, but I’m more interested in doing investigations work. If I transfer and have no choice but to work on insurance/claims, would it be better to stay in auditing? Is the insurance/claims work demanding/difficult intellectually wise?

Thoughts on how SAP handled bonuses this year with Covid

Transferred with my company to the UK from the U.S. literally three weeks before the pandemic hit. The transition has definitely been difficult as I came for a new office culture and city experience, leaving loved ones and a higher salary behind, which covid has obviously tainted. Since my situation seems to be unique, would love to get other people’s perspective- would you stick it out or go back?

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

We can’t have classroom management without taking care of ourselves first. Rest. Even if it’s for 2 minutes. We close our eyes and reset.

Hey ladies. I had a miscarriage July 2021 and my cycle started back up not long after. Then in January it just stopped. It’s been 3 months without my period and not sure what could be causing it (I’m not pregnant). My diet hasn’t changed and neither has my activity. I run marathons but I’ve been doing that for years now and it’s never impacted my period prior. I have an appointment to see my OB in a week but wondering if any of you experienced this.

Anyone else kinda enjoying the wfh/lack of pressure to go out? I got a pay cut, I’m working harder than ever and things are uncertain but I can’t help but feel relieved to not be so emotionally drained. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing a lot of emotional labor for others? 😬
